Help wanted airfield location

[RAFG]

Thanks! Can you provide a date?

[chevvron]

Two control towers suggests Odiham, the present one being on the far side of the airfield from the hangars.

[dook]

It's Waddington.

[DaveReidUK]

Both WT507 and Magister MT-18 were present at the 1964 Waddington BoB Display (September 19th).

Doesn't look like a display day, so maybe the ET 62 Noratlas was there for some other reason.

Just a guess but Lindholme may have been crash div for Finningley and Finningley runway Black so the Canberra and Noratlas divved in?

Thanks Dave!!

Now one of my favourite shots, taken from our museums archiv. A PR.7 at an unknown airfield, photograph taken by another Canberra of 31Sqn, visible as a shadow ...

[RAFG]

Maybe this location is in UK? Taken early 1983 ...

[RAFG]

As there are no ideas of the previous two pics. Here is another one. Canberra PR.7 31Sqn at an unknown Open Day.
(from my collection, photographer unknown)

Any idea, Dave?

[chevvron]

Finningley again?

[RAFG]

Cannot find the log at scramble 68-71 ...

I would agree. You can just see the LH edge of the number "4" painted over the hangar window.

And Finningley had a windsock mounted on Hangar 4, also visible in the previous Finningley Canberra photo in post #23.

[chevvron]

Was there a 'solution' to RAFGs image at #68?

[RAFG]

Thanks Dave! As is must be an open day? What date might it be?

regards Steffi

White painted Vulcan at left so early '60s?

[RAFG]

One more Canberra from my collection, photographer unknown, this time 16Sqn. Without date and location. Maybe also mid 60s? Is the white aircraft beside a Vulcan?
kind regards Steffi

[chevvron]

No it's a Victor.
Canberra '262 spent most of its operational life at Laarbruch but I don't think they had 'C' type hangars there. Maybe its St Athan where it was 'retired' to before going to Catterick? I'd like to say it is Catterick 'cos there are 'C' types there and there was a Victor at the Fire School too but I don't think it is there.

Catterick has earlier Type Cs than the one in the photo.

St Athan certainly had (still has) original Type C hangars, but AFAIK they weren't numbered, nor did any of them sport a windsock.

What makes you think that's where the photo is ?

Re the latest photo, it must be around 1960-ish. Apart from the Victor being white, the Canberra predates the change in the B(I)8 scheme from black to silver undersides and from a white to black serial..

Later photo of XM262 (at Leuchars, if I'm not mistaken):
